A huge merry Christmas to you all from Vivien Kondor London!
With only one week until Christmas Eve, we are really starting to get into the Christmas spirit - are you getting excited?
We have loved the Christmas season so far, as this is our first as a brand with a range available to the public, and we have been spending a lot of time experimenting with colours and nail ideas for this time of year.
If you know our current 42-colour range, you will be aware of our 'Glitter Collection' - a set of 9 glitter colours that work perfectly both on top of another colour or on their own. (If you haven't seen our range - you can find it on Amazon here).
We think that these colours are absolutely perfect for the Christmas party season - and have been loving 136 - Red Glitter and 138 - Gold Glitter.
That being said, we wanted to show you something a little different today, as so far throughout December we have posted a lot of reds and golds.
This post is for those that have wanted to try something new and break away from the 'standard' Christmas-themed colours - whilst still staying appropriate for the Christmas party that is just around the corner.
Pictured above is an absolute must in any nail polish collection, white. This is our very own 102 - Matte White with two coats.
We love a white polish at VKHQ, it goes with absolutely everything and is always in style.
This is a wonderful base for our Glitter Collection. We have one to show you today (below), however you could top this colour with any of our glitters to give this simple nail an instant edge.
We opted for a member of the Glitter Collection that hasn't been reviewed or shown on the blog before, but is one of our favoruites: 141 - Hexagon Glitter.
Hexagon Glitter is a clear polish jam-packed with different sized, different coloured and different shaped (but as you've probably guessed - mostly hexagons) shiny pieces of delight.
We think it is so much fun and really adds a funky, lighthearted tone to nails.
This look is a great alternative to the reds and golds you will be seeing on nails around the Christmas period - it is still fun, still sparkly and still festive but so different at the same time - everyone's a winner!
Of course you don't have to use the polish on every nail as pictured above, use it on just one or two for a surprise pop of sparkle that isn't as over-the-top or party-ready as this look.
Also, pictured is two coats of Matte White with one thick coat of Hexagon Glitter - you can use as much or as little as you want to create your desired look.
Another colour that hasn't had much attention from the range is 105 - Silver.
This polish has the most gorgeous metallic, shiny finish with teeny tiny flecks of sparkle that catch the light beautifully as you move.
You could easily get away with wearing this polish as part of a casual look, and of course you could rock this with a LBD and silver accessories on a Saturday night - but we think it is also a great alternative colour at Christmas time.
It is shiny, has a hint of sparkle and is a perfect party colour, what more could you want?
If you're not really feeling in the Christmas spirit this year or simply want to try something different - we would definitely recommend you give this a try.
If you want to give it that little extra sparkle for the party season we would recommend that you top it with 139 - Silver Glitter.
So there you have it.
There are so many different colours and glitter combinations we are dying to show you - but we know you're rushed off your feet Christmas shopping so for now, that's your lot.
